No one else got Farniok though, and he's the only player worth more than +.03 points.
Myself, recruiting battles are overrated (Rivals). Look at Boise State .... #55. Every year without exception, BSU got no 4 or 5 stars. Not once. PAC12 leftovers.
Except this year, Texass was rated Top10 in recruiting standings.

My thought exactly. We REALLY don't need an ego-centric prima donna on our team who thinks they're important enough to warrant a "look at me" dramatic signing day video. Good riddance. We dodged a bullet on that one.
I have found that Dave's tend to be the smartest people.
I'll have to agree with that.
Actually, N2FL, I don't think there really were that many of these kinds of posts. The majority seemed to be of the acceptance, good luck, let's move on. There was a lot of fun angst though....
I guess I jumped the gun. Carry on, folks....
I would read the 15 pages since the announcement, but I'm sure it would just be painful. Maybe I'll just guess what was said.
Here's my two cents, for the next guy to skip. It's disappointing as heck. But I'm not going to gripe about an 18 year old changing his mind at the last minute and leaving us hanging. I'm sure Riley and Co did everything reasonable, but even they know an 18 year old making a decision like this is an iffy proposition. Especially when there are lots of other people involved in the decision. This happens.
Riley might or might not have to get a touch tighter, like saying if you visit anyone else after us in the last week, we're going after someone else just in case, or whatever. I don't know. That would make sense because presumably the dynamic of recruiting here should be different than it was at OSU. At OSU, he would have wanted to assess and vet carefully out of players that more often than not be leftovers. That's different than going up against Top 25 programs like we have to. We may need to be tougher and more saavy. Just a theory, but it wouldn't surprise me. And it's not to criticize Riley in any way shape or form.
Lastly, people always need to keep in mind that all the behind-the-paywall "experts" and so-and-so assures me this kind of stuff doesn't necessarily mean anything when you're talking about an 18 year old making the biggest decision of his life. May as well always be expecting some very surprising losses. It's just what it is.

Well darn, I really thought that I would log on today and be Cheering along with the rest of ya about Dez. Oh well, to him, I wish nothing but the best in his forthcoming career at Louisville. Disappointed, sure, but it was his decision so good luck to you sir.
Some of the darkest parts of recruiting. Really unfortunate, but not totally surprising, if true.
Interesting but not in a good way though.
Munson was careful what he said but did not even try to refute it.
With Petrino involved would not surprise me in the least.
